Brilliant Contemporary Residence
This
stunning, architect designed contemporary residence brilliantly
combines modern materials and clever design to create a striking yet
ultimately liveable home.
With four bedrooms and sweeping city
and suburban views, this tri-level property in one of Paddington's most
exclusive and private cul-de-sacs is truly unique and difficult to
replicate.
Designed by Elizabeth Watson Brown, now Design
Director Architectus Brisbane, the full off-form concrete home was
poured on site and is one of a select few Brisbane homes constructed
this way.
From the street, the house is modern yet discreet, with
recycled timber beams juxtaposing with concrete walls. The symmetry of
old and new is also evident upon entry, with an antique, wrought iron
gate leading to a minimalist, glass front door.
The entry level
is home to the kitchen, which combines stainless steel, with rich,
recycled timber. Serious home cooks will appreciate the Gaggenau
appliances and a clever butler's pantry tucked in behind.
A home office leads directly off the kitchen, handy for consulting on-line recipes or helping with homework.
From
the kitchen, there is a spacious dining and lounge area, complete with
potbelly stove. A concrete storage bench runs the length of the lounge,
beneath soaring glass windows. Low e-glass windows and doors have been
used throughout the home, which when combined with the concrete
construction help maintain a constant temperature throughout.
Commercial-grade
sliding glass doors recess into concrete walls and open to the large
outdoor terrace. From this vantage point you can fully appreciate the
home's elevation and unique aspect, with sweeping views across Brisbane
and the spectacular City skyline.
A fully integrated BBQ area, sink, fridge and ample storage make this a brilliant entertaining area.
Another
showpiece is the timber-tread staircase, running along the spine of the
home. The middle level of the property has a wine storage and four
bedrooms, the Master with a marble ensuite, timber dressing room and
private terrace. Another guest room also has an ensuite, while the
remaining two bedrooms share a bathroom. All bedrooms have ample storage
and integrated desks.
A multi-purpose rumpus or music room is a
great space for quiet activity and opens to its own secluded garden,
while the laundry also has a drying courtyard.
The bottom level of the property has a double lock up garage and access to Annie Street.
There is further off street parking and another area for outdoor play.
Situated
in the heart of one of Brisbane's most sought after areas, close to the
CBD, schools, parks and walking distance to Rosalie Village, this often
admired property will impress for centuries to come.
